Hidden Stories About Ohio Pioneers, Early Settlers and Their Nineteenth-Century Descendants

Mehr zum Buch

Stories about Ohio pioneers, early settlers and their nineteenth-century descendants, stories previously hidden in family archives and forgotten in public records, come to life in this remarkable collection. The reclaimed narratives spotlight family strife, canal building and tragedy, opposition to a courtship, a run-away child, death in a county poorhouse, preservation of prized meerschaum pipes, an abused woman's escape, and the evolution of a village hotel and country schoolhouse.
